DearComrades,

Ihave received your letter concerningBorba Proletariata.[2]I shall do my best to write and shall tell my editorial comrades about it
too. I am heavily occupied at present with work for the new organ. A detailed
letter on this matter has already been sent to you.[1]Let us have your reply as
soon as possible and please send more, more and still more, workers’
letters. The success of the organ depends now on you in particular, for the
beginning is especially difficult.

Yours,N. Lenin
